Protests were held across Manipur on Saturday night over the arrests of leaders of the Meitei organisation Arambai Tenggol, prompting the administration to impose prohibitory orders and suspend internet services in five Imphal valley districts. The MLAs’ delegation expressed concern over the recent arrest of Asem Kanan, a leader of Arambai Tenggol. BJP legislator K Ibomcha, who was part of the delegation, claimed that altogether five people were arrested in connection with earlier incidents of violence, which triggered widespread protests in the northeastern state since Saturday. The CBI said it has arrested a member of the Meitei outfit Arambai Tenggol at Imphal Airport on Sunday for his alleged involvement in various criminal activities related to Manipur violence in 2023, while the police did not disclose details of the four others. Khundrakpam MLA Lokeswore, speaking to the media after the meeting, said that Asem Kanan’s arrest was not linked to Arambai Tenggol. Arambai Tenggol has announced a 10-day total shutdown, including the closure of all government offices, intensifying the current unrest.
